Newbie having probs with First Layer Calibrartion
Hi All,
I'm new to 3D Printing and have built the MK3 and done the calibration tests and all ok except for the first layer, I have followed the instructions and tried the prusa logo from the SD card but 1. it leaves gaps between each line of PLA, 2. it gets to a certain height then the print moves and it all goes wrong.
Any help, pointers to get a newbie up and running would be much appreciated, hope to hear from someone 🙂

Poor adhesion + gaps in your layers sounds like you need to lower the extruder via Live Z adjust . Could mean under-extrusion if its not the Live Z. Maybe post pictures of your troubled prints for the sharp-eyed vets to diagnose.

I'm also new and am currently working out similar issues as you.
